Choose A Licensed & Insured Cherry Hill Electrician
When it
comes to electrical work, you should always hire a professional electrician.
Due to the serious hazards involved with electricity, only licensed and insured
electricians should handle your electrical needs. Just because your neighbor
tells you how great of a handyman he is doesn’t mean they should touch your
home’s wiring. Simply put, electrical work is very dangerous and it isn’t worth
the risk. Even the jobs that appear simple and easy still require the services
of a professional electric contractor.
History
The area now known as Cherry Hill was originally settled by the
Lenni-Lenape Native Americans who coexisted peacefully with the first
settlers from England, Quaker followers of William Penn who arrived in the
late 1600s. The first settlement was a small cluster of homes named
Colestown, in the perimeters of what is now the Colestown Cemetery on the
corner of Route 41 (King's Highway) and Church Road. The municipality was
founded on February 25, 1844, in Gloucester County as Delaware Township
from half of the area of Waterford Township, and became part of Camden
County at its creation some two weeks later on March 13, 1844.[8]
The township grew explosively after World War II, and continued to grow
until the 1980s. Today, the municipality's population is stable with new
development generally occurring in pockets of custom luxury homes or
through the rehabilitation and adaptive reuse of commercial and industrial
areas.
Origin of the name
The name Cherry Hill was chosen by the township's citizens in a
non-binding referendum in 1961, and was officially adopted November 7,
1961.[8] Cherry Hill had been the name of Abraham Browning's farm on
Kaighn Avenue (now called Route 38) opposite the site where the Cherry
Hill Mall would be built. The farm property was approximately what became
Eugene Mori's Cherry Hill Inn, the RCA-Cherry Hill campus, and Cherry Hill
Estates; and is now an AMC-Loews movie theater complex.
Mori, the largest developer in the town from the 1940s to the '60s, used
the Cherry Hill name on many of his properties, including the Cherry Hill
Inn, Cherry Hill Lodge (now a nursing home), Cherry Hill Apartments (now
renovated as the Cherry Hill Towers), and the Cherry Hill Estates housing
development, where all but two of the streets are named after thoroughbred
race courses. Thus, it has been suggested Mori had a vested interest in
getting the town named Cherry Hill.
The township also wanted its own post office, but another New Jersey town
already claimed the name Delaware, New Jersey. The postal service
suggested a name change, and Mayors Christian Weber and John Gilmour,
whose administrations came during the renaming decision, agreed.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the township has a total
area of 24.4 square miles (63.1 km˛), of which, 24.2 square miles (62.8

the township: Ashland, Barclay-Kingston, Cherry Hill Mall,
Erlton-Ellisburg, Golden Triangle, Greentree and Springdale.
Cherry Hill's eastern border with Burlington County is defined by the
Pennsauken Creek. The creek separates Cherry Hill from the communities of
Maple Shade Township, Evesham Township (or colloquially, 'Marlton'), and
Mount Laurel Township.
The Cooper River forms the southern border with Haddon Township,
Haddonfield Borough, and Lawnside Borough, through the Maria Barnaby
Greenwald Park and parallel to the east-west Route 70.
To the north, Cherry Hill borders Merchantville Borough and Pennsauken

Choose A Professional & Experienced
Cherry Hill Electrician
When it
comes to electrical projects, it is important to hire a professional
electrician. Electricity is not only dangerous to work with, it can also pose
serious safety hazards if a job isn’t performed correctly. At first, it may
seem as if your do-it-yourself project was completed correctly, only to find
several months (or weeks) later, that you have serious complications.
Overloaded circuits can cause problems and faulty wiring is a fire hazard.
Therefore, you should always contract the services of a licensed, qualified
professional electric contractor to handle all of your electrical projects.
